Aortic dissections and aortic aneurysms are fatal events characterized by structural changes
to the aortic wall. The maximum diameter criterion, typically used for aneurysm rupture risk …

Structural finite-element analysis (FEA) has been widely used to study the biomechanics of
human tissues and organs, as well as tissue–medical device interactions, and treatment …

Objectives: In the course of extensive clinical aortic surgery, we noticed that the aorta was
quite thick and fibrotic in diabetic patients. We thought the diabetic aortic aorta might be …

Constitutive modeling is a cornerstone for stress analysis of mechanical behaviors of
biological soft tissues. Recently, it has been shown that machine learning (ML) techniques …

Geometric features of the aorta are linked to patient risk of rupture in the clinical decision to
electively repair an ascending aortic aneurysm (AsAA). Previous approaches have focused …

Although hundreds of samples obtained from ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms (ATAA)
of patients undergoing elective surgical repair have already been characterized …

Objectives: In thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) of the ascending aorta (AA), AA is
progressively dilating due to the weakening of the aortic wall. Predicting and preventing …

The patient-specific biomechanical analysis of the aorta requires the quantification of the in
vivo mechanical properties of individual patients. Current inverse approaches have …

Aneurysms of the ascending aorta (AsAA), ie, a progressive and localized dilatation of the
first part of the aorta, represent a severe life-threatening condition, often occurring with no …

Abstract Development of aortic aneurysms includes significant morphological changes
within the tissue: collagen content increases, elastin content reduces and smooth muscle …
